Default Alignment Issues

I brought my car to get an alignment today, and I know they can't do anything about camber on my 95 Integra w/o a camber kit.

The alignment guy is telling me he can't do anything w/o a camber kit though. I thought he would atleast be able to adjust the toe to 0. Is it true that I will need to install a camber kit before he can do anything?

Also, he is telling me my camber is -3, but my car is only lowered 2 inches, does this sound accurate?

Thanks.

-Mike

My car has to stay at the shop until Monday, but I had him print out the current alignment settings. He told me that I would eat the hell out of tires, even if my toe was at 0.

Here is the front results:



And here is the rear results:



Do you think I should just fork out the cash for a camber kit, or just tell him to set the toe to 0?

Just set the toe to 0. Those camber numbers are fine at -2.8F and -2.0R.

Looks like a Sears printout to me. Since I work there, they sure as **** should be able to set the toe to 0 for you. It will be noted how bad the camber was, and you will have a tough time getting a warranty out of it. If you install the front kits on your own you will have to pay for a new aligment. If they give you more grief, PM me their phone number and ill talk to them for ya
